Family Support and Respite Services
Easterseals Family Support Service Program addresses essential everyday needs that are crucial for preventing family crises. Family Support Services are designed to increase access to goods and services, empowering families to live, learn, work, and play in their community.
Overview
Family Support is a program that offers various disability-specific services tailored to meet the needs of people diagnosed with a developmental disability, intellectual disability, or autism spectrum disorder, ages three years or older, who do not receive a NOW/COMP Waiver. The program's primary goal is to strengthen the family unit by keeping families together and helping people live at home within their communities.
